Celestial Dreamscape

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:28:20 -0500

everglade records is pleased to announce the release of Celestial Dreamscapes, a compact disc set featuring clarinetist Scott Locke performing twentieth-century acoustic and electro-acoustic works by eight composers. With works by Kristine H. Burns, Deborah Kavasch, John Mayer, Willson Osborne, John Steffa, Igor Stravinsky, and Dan Welcher, this disc invites the listener on a sonic tour de force of both virtuosic and introspective works for clarinet.

“This disc is an excellent compilation of works that have become ‘classics’ of the literature along with more recent compositions that break new ground…. What is constant is quality, both of compositions and their performance. It is hoped that this disc will be at once entertaining, edifying, and enlightening.”
—F. Gerard Errante

“Clarinetist Scott Locke has released a commendable recorded collection of music for solo clarinet spanning nearly the entire 20th century…. [T]hroughout the CD, Dr. Locke rises to all technical and musical challenges with aplomb. His big, chunky sound never interfered when lightness and sparkle were needed.”
—David Thomas, The Buzzing Reed

Escapement

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:27:56 -0500

Escapement features pianist Daniel Koppelman performing multichannel electro-acoustic works by eight composers with diverse musical aesthetics, interests, and backgrounds. The set includes a CD and a DVD-V disc playable on all standard DVD players, including those on a computer. Featured composers include Mark Applebaum, Benjamin Broening, Christopher Dobrian, William Kleinsasser, Daniel Koppelman, Eric Lyon, James Mobberley, and Wayne Peterson.

Born in New York and raised in California, Daniel Koppelman has gained experience with many different musical traditions classical and popular, composed and improvised, acoustic and electronic which has led him to explore their intersections in search of new possibilities for performing, teaching, and creating music. Koppelman's current performance interests include various real-time controllers in conjunction with Cycling '74's Max/MSP and STEIM's LiSa (live sampling) software, digital signal processing of acoustic piano, and the multiple keyboard ensemble duo runedako (with Ruth Neville). He has recorded for CRI, New World Records, Neuma Records, Capstone, SEAMUS and C74; he recently released Escapement, a 2-disc CD/DVD set of 21st Century music for piano and electronics, which Keyboard Magazine called "engaging, intelligent, and unpretentious." Koppelman holds degrees from San Francisco State University (B.M.), Indiana University (M.M.), and the University of California at San Diego (Ph.D.), where he was a Regents Fellow; his piano teachers have included Wayne Peterson, James Tocco, Cecil Lytle and Aleck Karis. Currently Associate Professor and Director of Music Technology at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, Koppelman has been a resident artist at STEIM in Amsterdam, the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, and the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts in La Jolla, CA. In 2008, he lectured and performed in and around Odessa, Ukraine on a Fulbright Scholarship.

[re] includes multichannel DVD-Audio and DVD-Video discs featuring electronic music by thirteen composers with diverse musical aesthetics, interests, and backgrounds. All works were commissioned by the Third Practice Festival of Electroacoustic Music at the University of Richmond.

The result is a striking assemblage of music that reflects the majesty of our shared musical past while embracing technology to point toward the musical future.
